A BUDGET airline has donated 10,000 Euros to a north Hampshire children’s hospice.

Ryanair gave the funds to Naomi House and Jacksplace, in Sutton Scotney. The money came from its ‘Fly to Win’ on-board scratchcards.

Caroline Green, Ryanair’s director of customer service, joined crew members to present a cheque to Mark Smith, deputy chief executive at Naomi House.

She said: “Ryanair is delighted to support Naomi House and Jacksplace, which does so much to help children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.”

Mr Smith said: “We are reliant on donations such as this to continue our work.”
